Hello everyone, I’m looking for your help 🙂

I want to have a point system on my website but don’t know how.

I know we have a badge system that could show users some rewards and trust level but that’s not want I want. I want to show the actual number of points they have.\

For example,  
sign in 1 day and you get 1 point.  
Make 1 new post, you get 5 points.  
Make 1 comment under other’s post, you get 2 points.  
Share 1 post to your social media, you get 1 point.

stuff like above…

I checked lots of messages on Discourse meta but unfortunately I couldn’t find the answer. Some people suggest to create a plugin to achieve this, and some people suggest to do more research on Badge system but no one actually gave an answer.

So, to achieve this point system, do I need to create a plugin? Or is there any alternative way to do?

Thank you in advance for you kind help 😀
